The sequence of presentation oftheoretical content in the course is coordinated with the requirements of the ski lift project, sothat students are presented with theory on an “as-needed” basis. Preliminary evaluation ofstudent perception of learning based on Student Assessment of Instruction (SAI) datademonstrates that students feel that learning of theoretical content is improved when it ismotivated by the need to solve a problem for their ski lift design.IntroductionA course in the design of machine elements has been a part of most mechanical engineeringcurricula since the 1950’s. The content of this course has its roots in academic research in solidmechanics, mechanisms and

Engineering research is of course a form of engineering work, but itsaccountabilities are clearly different from the work practices of engineering professionals outsideof academia who are involved in realizing engineering projects” (Stevens & Johri & O’Connor,2013, 132). In this paper, the gap will be focused the on how students are taught to solvecomplex problems and how professionals solve complex problems in industry. This gap isexplored by interviewing engineering professionals on the tools and techniques they use in theirdaily work to solve complex problems.The academia-industry gap is caused by a disconnect between industry expectations and
